\u201cThere is no instinct like that of the heart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nWhich I have to say was very true for my daughter. She met her fianc\u00e9 while travelling and then did something that was against our better judgement: she pulled out of the college she\u2019d just enrolled in and packed her suitcase to go live with him in Hungary.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s crazy. We knew it then and I think she knew it too \u2013 but Catherine kept saying she felt sure, 100% sure, it was what she needed to do.<\/p>\n
Anyhow. Fast forward to their marriage, and then my reading this quote on the back of their card.<\/p>\n
It makes me wonder \u2013 how many of our life\u2019s successes have sprung from instinct?<\/p>\n
It was a gut feeling that first drew me to chiropractic. I was just a kid (okay, early twenties) flipping through the phonebook when I saw an advertisement for a chiropractic college in Toronto. And right then I knew it \u2013 I was going to be a chiropractor.<\/p>\n
My wife, you might know her as Dr. Marcelle, says she knew we were going to be married the first time we met.<\/p>\n
Can these things be true? Are we able to sense opportunity when it knocks?<\/p>\n
Instinct or, maybe better, intuition doesn\u2019t offer a safety net. There aren\u2019t any second chances and, sometimes, the risks can outweigh the benefits \u2013 but a strong instinct, that heart-pulling sensation, is almost undeniable. And I think, personally, that listening to your little voice when it shouts is very important to getting the most out of life.<\/p>\n
I suppose I\u2019m suggesting you listen to yourself. Sense what type of reaction you\u2019re experiencing before making a decision. Is there some quiet doubt, or a nervousness that you can\u2019t shake? Is there a thrill running through you, or a compulsion to act?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always good to bounce your ideas off someone you trust before running off the deep end . . . but just remember that you have the final say in the adventure of your life.<\/p>\n
What sort of things have you been driven to through intuition? Would you say that many of your decisions are emotion-based, or are you someone who takes a meticulous approach and gathers information before making the final decision? Don\u2019t you think there are some processes where you need to decide based on your own experiences and not just the facts?<\/p>\n
I\u2019d be really interested to hear your thoughts on this one. Please do share and let\u2019s see what comes out.<\/p>\n
Take Care,<\/p>\n
